Trump urges Pakistan and Muslim countries to join Abraham Accords
US President Donald Trump has urged Pakistan and several Muslim-majority countries to move toward joining the Abraham Accords, saying a broader regional agreement could help reshape Middle East diplomacy and support ongoing negotiations involving Iran.
The Abraham Accords are US-backed agreements aimed at normalizing diplomatic, economic, and security ties between Israel and Muslim-majority nations. Existing signatories include the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump said countries including Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE should “at a minimum” simultaneously join an expanded version of the accords.

Trump specifically mentioned Pakistan’s Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa while discussing regional participation.
According to Trump, expanding the Abraham Accords would strengthen economic cooperation, political coordination, and regional stability during a period of heightened tensions in the Middle East.
He also claimed that the agreements have already brought economic and social benefits to participating countries and could serve as a foundation for broader peace efforts.
Trump particularly emphasized the importance of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar joining the initiative, arguing that wider recognition of Israel could become a major diplomatic breakthrough for the region.
